The dissertation was entitled Gospodarske i društvene prilike u mletačkom dijelu Istre u doba kolonizacije XVI. i XVII. stoljeća (“Economic and Social Conditions in the Venetian Part of Istria at the Time of Colonization in the 16th and 17th Centuries”).[1][2]
In 1954 he began publishing prose and essay articles, reviews and notes in high school magazines in Zagreb and Pula. After 1963, he dealt exclusively with historical issues and collaborated in scientific and professional articles. The main area of his scientific interests included the study of economic, social, ethnic, migratory, colonial and cultural-anthropological phenomena in Istria (especially in its Venetian period) from the end of the 15th century until the end of 18th century, and the study and critical evaluation of Istrian historiographical heritage. He also dealt with demographic history, paying special attention to developments in European historical science, especially the avant-garde efforts of the French Annales school. On two occasions (1985 and 1989) he attended several months of specialist courses at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales in Paris, and, in 1992 at the Istituto di Storia della Società e dello Stato veneziano and the Istituto Venezia e l'Oriente of Venice.

Based on his work on modern methodology, especially that of the famous French "Annales school" and "recent history", Bertoša original and with many innovative models, previously unknown in Croatian historiography, traces Istrian structures and their transformations from the end of the 15th century until the end of 18th century century.
